Dentsply Sirona Advances Single-Visit Dentistry with Cloud-Connected CEREC System

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 29, 2025 – Dentsply Sirona is redefining digital chairside workflows with the next evolution of its iconic CEREC system, now seamlessly integrated into the DS Core cloud platform. Celebrating four decades of continuous innovation, the CEREC system combines precision dentistry with real-time digital collaboration—enabling practices to deliver same-day restorations faster, more efficiently, and with greater patient engagement than ever before.

A 40-Year Legacy Meets Modern Cloud Dentistry

Launched in 1985, CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) pioneered single-visit restorations. Today, its integration with DS Core marks a significant milestone in connected dentistry. This cloud-based platform centralizes intraoral scans, design data, material selection, and production control—allowing clinicians to move seamlessly from scanning to milling with remote access and streamlined workflows.

With more than 7 million crowns milled annually using CEREC machines, the system’s longevity is matched by its continuous relevance in modern practices. By leveraging DS Core, dentists can now initiate treatments from any connected device, enabling broader team involvement and increasing throughput without compromising quality.

Cloud Workflow Enhancements and Digital Flexibility

The latest CEREC workflow, enhanced by Primescan 2, introduces key efficiency drivers:

  • IO-scans can be launched directly from DS Core and instantly linked to patient records
  • Designs are shareable across devices and finalized remotely before manufacturing
  • Automated documentation and equipment data tracking improve traceability and quality assurance
  • Scanners are freed up more quickly, enabling faster patient turnaround and increased daily case volume

These capabilities make it easier for practices to expand their service portfolio—including implants, aligners, and sleep appliances—while maintaining centralized control and reducing chair time.

Evolving Expectations in Restorative Dentistry

CEREC’s move to cloud reflects broader industry momentum toward digital-first workflows, where interoperability, AI-driven diagnostics, and connected platforms are reshaping chairside care. In a landscape where time, accuracy, and patient experience are key differentiators, Dentsply Sirona is positioning itself at the forefront of the shift.

The platform’s access to over 60 validated materials—from Dentsply Sirona and nine material partners—ensures highly personalized outcomes. Its focus on open collaboration further sets it apart from older siloed CAD/CAM systems, helping smaller practices stay competitive.

Clinician Perspectives on Digital Transformation

“As a long-time CEREC user, the ability to start every treatment from DS Core is a significant gain in efficiency for my team.” said Dr. Gertrud Fabel, a dentist from Munich, Germany. “Single-visit dentistry is already something that patients genuinely appreciate and with the patient communication canvas in DS Core, I am able to help my patients visualize their oral situation and better understand the treatment plan.”

With digital tools now influencing both clinical and business outcomes, DS Core’s ability to engage patients and unify teams is a strategic asset—not just a technical one.

Strategic Impact for Dental Practices

For providers, the cloud-enabled CEREC ecosystem offers tangible benefits:

  • Reduced treatment time and repeat visits
  • Higher patient satisfaction through same-day results
  • Scalable workflows that enable task delegation and multi-room usage
  • Full visibility into design and manufacturing progress via a centralized platform

Combined with Dentsply Sirona’s 57 education centers in 35 countries and growing digital learning network, practices can stay ahead of the curve with minimal disruption.

Global Launch and Learning at DS World Las Vegas

The next opportunity to experience CEREC’s connected capabilities will be DS World Las Vegas 2025, held September 26–28 at the MGM Grand. The event will feature hands-on sessions with the updated platform, expert panels, and live demonstrations of the latest chairside CAD/CAM workflows.

For dental professionals seeking to modernize their practice and tap into digital efficiencies, the cloud-enhanced CEREC system offers a powerful path forward.
